1 DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS (DACA) Prepared by California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation (CRLAF), UC Davis Immigration Law Clinic

2 WHAT IS DEFFERED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS (DACA)? On June 15, 2012, President Obama announced that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would not remove certain DREAM Act-eligible undocumented youth. Under a directive from Secretary Napolitano, certain youth who were brought into the United States as minors and meet certain requirements, will be given deferred action for two years.

3 DACA (CONTINUED) Deferred Action is an administrative relief from removal It permits an undocumented youth to temporarily remain in the United States as an act of prosecutorial discretion Prosecutorial discretion refers to the agency s authority to not enforce immigration laws against certain individuals A youth who has been granted deferred action is eligible to apply for employment authorization for the period of deferred action Must apply separately from deferred action Must demonstrate an economic necessity for employment Deferred action and work authorization must be renewed every two years Applicants must show eligibility at application and renewal

4 BENEFITS Protection from removal (deportation) for 2 years Can be renewed every two years as long as the program is in effect Work Permit for 2 years Social Security Card Driver s License (in CA) Can stop accruing unlawful presence

5 WHAT DACA IS NOT NOT amnesty NOT a pathway to green card or U.S. citizenship NOT permanent It can be terminated at any time at the government s discretion or renewed by the government NOT guaranteed even when applicant meets all the requirements Applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

6 AGE REQUIREMENTS Came to the U.S. before 16 th birthday 15 years or older when you apply Can be under 15 years old if currently in removal proceedings Under 31 years old on June 15, 2012

7 PRESENCE IN THE U.S. REQUIREMENTS Have continuously lived in the U.S. since June 15, 2007 Brief, casual, & innocent trips are OK The trip MUST have been short & reasonably calculated to accomplish the purpose for the trip The trip cannot have been because of an order of exclusion, deportation, removal, or voluntary departure The purpose for the trip or your actions during your trip outside the U.S. were not illegal Were present in the U.S. on June 15, 2012

8 UNLAWFUL PRESENCE Unlawful presence is a legal term that refers to the time you have remained in the United States without authorization.

9 DACA AND UNLAWFUL PRESENCE Although unlawful presence does not matter for DACA, it may affect other immigration applications (for example, consular processing through a family member). Unlawful presence over 180 days may subject you to a three year bar from admission into the United States. Unlawful presence over a year may subject you to a ten year bar. Consult an immigration attorney for more information on your individual case. Waivers may be available. This is especially important for people who are not yet 18 years old because they haven t started accruing unlawful presence yet. These people might want to apply for DACA sooner rather than later

10 EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS In high school now; OR Have high school diploma or GED; OR Currently in qualifying educational program Funded by Federal or State grants Classes (example: ESL) that are prerequisites for placement in post-secondary education, job training or employment Other programs of demonstrated effectiveness

11 OR MILITARY REQUIREMENT Be an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or U.S. armed forces

12 CRIMINAL HISTORY Have not been convicted of: a felony; OR significant misdemeanor; OR 3 or more non-significant misdemeanors; OR otherwise pose a threat to the national security or public safety

13 WHAT IS A FELONY? A crime punishable by more than 1 year in prison

14 WHAT IS A SIGNIFICANT MISDEMEANOR? maximum authorized sentence is 1 year or less, but more than 5 days; AND be one of the following: OR domestic violence sexual abuse or exploitation burglary unlawful possession or use of a firearm drug distribution or trafficking Driving Under the Influence (DUI) even if not one of the crimes listed above, if sentenced to time in custody of more than 90 days

15 WHAT IS A NON-SIGNIFICANT MISDEMEANOR? Any other misdemeanor A minor traffic offense (such as driving without a license) will not be considered a misdemeanor for purposes of this process.

16 WARNING: Even if you don t have any felonies, significant misdemeanors, or more than 3 non-significant misdemeanors, your entire offense history can be considered along with other facts to determine whether you warrant this exercise of this prosecutorial discretion. Anyone with any criminal record other than minor traffic offenses should consult with an attorney before applying for DACA.

17 RISKS OF APPLYING FOR DEFERRED ACTION If the application is denied for lack of meeting the criteria, the applicant should not be placed in removal (deportation) proceedings unless there is evidence of a criminal history or fraud If the case is denied, there is no legal right to appeal Applicants who have been previously removed from the U.S. or caught at the border MUST consult with an attorney before applying for deferred action because there are serious risks to applying in such a situation.

18 WHAT HAPPENS IF DACA IS CANCELLED? A new President could decide to change or cancel it If you have any doubts or concerns, it might be good to wait to apply for DACA after November elections However, time may be limited in which to apply and be approved before new administration But it s not likely that you will be put in removal proceedings if you have no criminal or fraud issues

19 PROCESS IF YOU ARE IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS If you are currently in removal proceedings, but not in detention, you can affirmatively request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals by submitting your request to U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) We strongly encourage you to talk to an attorney!
